Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Three Steps Lyrics
I was cutting the rug
Down at a place called The Jug
With a girl named Linda Lu
When in walked a man
With a gun in his hand
He said, "Hey there fellow,
With the hair colored yellow,
What you tryin' to prove?
'Cause that's my woman there
And I'm a man who cares
And this might be all for you."
I said, "Excuse me."
I was scared and fearing for my life.
'Cause he was lean, mean,
Big and bad, Lord,
Pointin' that gun at me.
Oh "Wait a minute, mister,
I didn't even kiss her.
Don't want no trouble with you.
And I know you don't owe me
But I wish you'd let me
Ask one favor from you."
"Oh, won't you give me three steps,
Gimme three steps a-mister,
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Gimme three steps
Gimme three steps a-mister,
And you'll never see a-me no more
For sure."
Well the crowd cleared away
And I began to pray
And the water fell on the floor.
And I'm telling you son,
Well, it ain't no fun
Staring straight down a forty-four.
Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lu
And that's the break I was looking for.
And you could hear me screaming a mile away
As I was headed out towards the door.
"Oh, won't you give me three steps,
Gimme three steps a-mister,
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Gimme three steps
Gimme three steps a-mister,
And you'll never see a-me no more."
Show me the back door.

Give me the steps that wont hurt a mans heart and head when he knows the way and who is doing what to humans what is 80 percent of humans and why cutting truth out of the skelletons you have seen uncoved have you seen and done enough yet to say i see is a understatement this is the four saying hello coner stones

The people who disliked were not given three steps.
people who don't like this song should get banned:)
There ought to be a hilarious video of this song with the likes of Ray Stevens in it!
Αυτο το group θα ακούγεται οσο γυριζει η γης
This station SUCKS!!!
Try it one more time
Those congas!!
Rest In Peace dear Ronnie
They r awsome
What bugs me about situations like this is the question of responsibility. He didn't know she was "with" someone, but SHE did. So her man chases the guy off maybe to kill him, but she gets of scot free? I think I might be yelling "After you shoot me, be sure you go back and shoot her too!" But I suppose he can't shoot her too because then she can't put out any more. Or... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5Ha2Yar01E
Whoever disliked didnt get 3 steps
MY BEST FRIEND "GIF" JUST TOLD ME TO KILL MYSELF??? WTF!!!
This is when Lynyrd Skynyrd channeled their inner John Sebastian.

Unfortunately for the rest of us
Who’s Listening in 2020?
Who is listening to this off the eastern shore of USA within 15min until 2020?
Thumbs up if you rocking Lynyrd Skynyrd in 2020 🤘🏻🖕🏻
never gets old
Kind of creepy that they all have their eyes closed.
If you can remember the 70s you weren't there.
American Jedi I don’t understand your reply. I remember vividly the day of the plane crash and losing one of my favorite bands.
@Bill Braski It's a joke about the 70s party and drug filled ways. The entire band has their eyes closed because they're out of it 70s style.
First song I played after my wisdom tooth was taken out
Seems to still fill up the dance floor around these parts
How can people dislike lynyrd skynyrd? Seriously?
Tucks Bar lol.
It's the BAND to driving :)
I said excuuuuuse me.
my friends band played this at church last sunday, true story
Still in 2019
We know you’re listening to this in 2019. Shut up
Excuse me; 2020.
Thank you
69k lol
This reminds of my gril frend that i stole from my friend Richard in Providence Rhode Island.
I miss these times
good thing my dad raised me on this music and not that gay pickle kisser shit
This was my momma's music growing up in the 70s
I love this song, just wish I could find a good man who would fight for me 😳
GREAT VIDEO ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
hoo yeaa KATABOYS KYDS ON ROKING
katabois viveiro 1979
this is the song that was playing the night I met my husband
Straight excellence 💋
I guess this is what Stevie Ray Vaughan was talking about when he said: " mess with her you'll see a man getting mean"
He was talking about his guitar.
@Victor Serkiavic actually your right
My favorite of Ronnie's. Miss you...RIP....
This just rocks.....just right!
Love Skyryrd
My one year old took three steps so obviously I sang the chorus. My wife - not knowing this is a real song - has now been enlightened. Thank you.
Jesus is giving y’all 3 steps to get out of my 📲.

Still jamming tresckow pa 2019
It’s me. I’m Linda Lu.
Get itttt

I my opinion Lynyrd Skynyrd is in the top 5 for rock bands just behind AC/DC and just ahead of The Rolling Stones
Rusty UFO yea man. They are under rated. Top 5 for me.
November 2019 who is whit me ?????????
💐💐💐✌💖💖💖💖💖💖i love this band!!!
Hell yeah!
Clássica
Lynard Skynard Rocks!!
greatest stuff ever how could you say no to this am i right
Who ever disliked this song is probably a Democrat
ever listen to Saturday night special
3.k people with bad taste in music.
How could you not like this song!
I used to work grave yard shift at a machine shop. I would dance all by myself to these great 70s music all night( my Asian co-workers thought I was crazy) 😂. Thank God for Skynyrd and classic rock radio.
The real Lynyrd Skynyrd , not cover band with a cousin!!!
Wait a minute, mister.... I didn't even kiss her!
Anybody here don't care what year it is and enjoy this music all your life? Good music lasts forever!
